Over 40 ride-ready bikes went straight to Napa and Sonoma fire survivors, and another 70 to Trips for Kids in time for their Christmas Party Give Away in the Canal District of San Rafael, home to many refugees and immigrants. The Oakland School District got 45 bikes for their after-school Earn-A-Bike program. The remaining almost 150 went to the sheriff's department job training program at Marsh Creek Detention Center, which repairs the bikes while teaching inmates a marketable skill, to be given away to local charities during the 2018 pre-holiday period.
